Free Piglet Part 2

As if the ban on anything pig related in an office wasn't bad enough, two major UK banks (the Halifax and NatWest) are now moving to ban the tradition of the child's piggy bank, usually given away when the child's account is opened. The move is intended to avoid offending Muslims. There is no mention of any complaint having been made- this is a pre-emptive dhimmi move.

As the Dean of Blackburn, Reverend Christopher Armstrong, notes it's only a short hop, skip and a jump away from banning Christmas trees and cribs. Not to mention pork, alcohol and all overt signs of Christianity or Judaism.

Oddly enough the commonsense statement about the whole affair emerged from Khalid Mahmoud, one of four Muslim MPs in the UK-

"We live in a multicultural society and the traditions and symbols of one community should not be obliterated just to accommodate another."

Perhaps there will be enough public outrage to reverse the decision. How hard would it be to offer a non-pig "piggy bank" to Muslim customers alongside the traditional pig?
